“I created this because I needed a quick entrée with few ingredients. The garlic flavored oil makes the broccoli rabe less bitter, and with toasted garlic, it's a great dish.” —Mary Ann Lee, Clifton Park, New York

Yummy yummy!!! The husband and I really liked this one! I used regular broccoli, and it worked just fine, and added a little more red pepper flakes. Delicious!

I used the regular broccoli and added chicken for a little protein and my husband loved it. I doubled the amount of garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.

Nice side dish. I may try to use all broth & thicken next time for a creamy sauce like texture.

I used broccoli and all the other ingredients listed and it was really good. The next time I think I will add the shrimp as others have suggested and I may use some cornstarch to thicken the broth.

I substituted spinach for the rabe. My husband and I both enjoyed it.

Broccoli rabe really only needs olive oil,garlic, rabe and pasta. Add ons red pepper flakes, black pepper. Try Italian sausage added as cooked. Toasted pine nuts would be another great add on. Chicken broth no way.

I made this dish for dinner last night and used broccoli heads cut up and shrimp. My husband realy liked it and I thought that it was very spicy with only the 1/4 t of red pepper. I also used my homemade chicken stock.
